Olive Garden Family-Style Meals Menu

Family Bundles vs Family Size Pans

A bundle includes the pan, a jumbo house salad and twelve breadsticks; a family size pan is the dish alone. The family style lasagna bundle costs $65.99, while the lasagna pan on its own is $51.99 and the jumbo salad with breadsticks is $24.49, so the bundle saves money over buying the parts.

Pans of the same dish are identical on this menu and on the catering menu; the family style listing is simply the household sized entry point.

Cost Per Person on the Family Style Menu

Split six ways, the five cheese ziti bundle at $64.49 works out to about eleven dollars a head with salad and breadsticks, less than any dinner entrée in the restaurant. The chicken alfredo bundle at $79.49 is the most expensive bundle for four to six, and the large lasagna bundle at $96.99 drops to roughly eight dollars a head for twelve.

Single pans start at $46.99 for spaghetti with marinara or meat sauce and run to $70.99 for the tortelloni.

Calories per Serving from Family Pans

The official guide lists calories for the whole pan. Spaghetti with marinara is 2270 calories per pan, about 400 per serving across six; the chicken alfredo pan is 6050, about 1,000 per serving; the lasagna pan for six is 3420, roughly 570 a slice. Bundles add the jumbo salad (1650 calories with twelve breadsticks) on top.

Order, Pickup and Reheating

Order online or in the app with a pickup time; lasagna pans need up to four hours' notice at busy stores. Pans arrive in foil trays that go straight into a 350°F oven: 20 to 25 minutes covered for lasagna and baked ziti, 10 to 15 minutes for alfredo and spaghetti pans with a splash of milk or water stirred in. Salads come with dressing on the side and breadsticks in a bake at home or freshly baked box.

Healthier Ordering Tips for Family-Style Meals

• Choose the spaghetti with marinara pan (2270 calories per pan) over the alfredo pans (5,000 calories and up) for a lighter family dinner.
• Cut lasagna and ziti pans into eight portions instead of six to keep servings near 450 calories.
• Add a family size minestrone at $19.99 for a vegetable course.
• Serve the jumbo salad first and use half the dressing; the twelve breadsticks are 140 calories each.

Best Family-Style Meals for Different Customers

Allergy and Ingredient Note

Pans carry the same allergens as the dining room dish: all pastas contain wheat and gluten, alfredo and cheese dishes contain dairy, shrimp pans contain shellfish and the lasagna and meat sauce pans contain beef and pork. Breadsticks contain wheat, gluten and soy. There is no gluten sensitive family pan.

Final Thoughts

For a family of four to six, the Olive Garden family style menu beats ordering individual entrées on price every time, and the lasagna and ziti bundles reheat well enough to cover two nights. Order a pan and a jumbo salad, keep the dressing on the side, and bake the breadsticks at home.
